Hansel and Gretel – Read and Sequence Activity Pack

Suggested ages: 5–9. Suitability depends on reading confidence; younger children may need adult support to read the passages and sequence the story.

Build reading confidence with this illustrated Hansel and Gretel Read and Sequence Activity Pack. Children read short passages, use the pictures to support understanding and put the story events in the correct order.

With compact and large reading cards, this resource works well for individual reading, partner activities and small-group literacy lessons.

What’s included?

• Two illustrated story pages for shared reading and rereading

• Seven picture-and-text reading cards, plus a title card

• Both compact and large versions of the cards

• A sequencing mat for arranging the compact cards

• Teacher notes with guidance, support ideas and extensions

• A make-a-book activity using the compact cards

How to use this pack

Read the illustrated story together, then cut out and mix up your chosen reading cards. Children read each passage and arrange the events in order, using clues in the text and pictures.

Use the compact cards with the sequencing mat or turn them into a small book for children to reread. The larger cards are ideal for partner reading, group discussion and display.

Skills supported

Reading fluency, understanding short passages, sequencing events, recognising story structure and discussing clues in a text.
